Nil, 52, left, and Uten, 30, drink Laos whiskey by candle light in their fishing hut on the Mekong River in Sop Ruak, Thailand. Nil says that prices in town keep getting hirer as development increase. But the fish are few in numbers and the water low in inconsistent due to the dams in China he said. "I wish it was like 7-8 years ago when there were a lot more fish," he said. Photo taken on Thursday, December 10, 2009. Kevin German / Luceo Images
